London, it's all about London right?

I moved to London 5 years ago from Up North and love it here in the world of red buses and Cockneys, but I'm also passionate about worldwide travel and have a massive bucket list to work my way through - often dragging my poor boyfriend along for the ride!

Welcome to my blog! I hope you find it useful - or at least a little entertaining!
